Great day today! We got a really nice shady spot on the Historical Society grounds. A corner spot under a nice shady Maple. The crowds were heavy all day until about 3PM. The weather really cooperated with High temperatures in the mid-to-upper 80's F., and lows this morning in the lower 70's F. with clear skies throughout the day. Everyone was buying! We could have really sold more, if we had it. Now we are beginning to worry about next weekend at St.Pete's. It is doubtful that we will have a sufficient amount of inventory to do the show. Currently, we are at less than $20K, and it is for the most part "stale" inventory from 08'-09'. I am "jone's-en" to get back in the studio and start building glass. We had a lot of requests for turtles, herons and fish (all of which we are out of). We have no dichroic transoms, no sunburst half-rounds, no beveled herons, no bevel clusters with diamond crystals, and no slumped/draped masks. We are short on everything. This is a good problem to have!

We got back to the RV at 5PM. Sherry fixed crackers and cheese that she picked up at the Farmers Market this morning. Afterwards, Sherry biked into town for ice, while I fixed dinner. Fresh peas (from the Farmers Market), yellow rice and grilled sausage with habanero peppers. It was passable, I thought. Afterwards, we closed up the camper, turned on the A/C, and walked in town to the ice cream parlor. This time we hot The Blue Dog a vanilla cone with peanut butter toppings! She seemed to enjoy this very much. Back at the camper I closed out today's receipts and tallied up the month. Not bad, for a soft economy. We can only hope our luck holds, and our sales continue. Until tomorrow...............
